The issue was only identified in June 2025, raising concerns about the critical information that may have gone unnoticed. Atle Hamar, the Director of Lottstift, commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are worried that we may have missed important tips and hope that people will resend their information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He underscored the importance of public involvement in the agency\u2019s enforcement activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are reliant on tips from the public, and people must have confidence that their reports are received. This is a serious error, and it went far too long before we discovered it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fault affected only anonymous tips submitted via the online form. Tips sent through email, phone calls, or direct contact with the agency were unaffected. Over the last two months, the authority managed to recover 120 tips. The remaining reports have been automatically deleted in accordance with privacy regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/igamingeuropa.com\/spains-gambling-regulator-drafts-2026-2030-safe-gambling-reforms-and-revamps-advisory-council\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spain\u2019s Gambling Regulator Drafts 2026\u20132030 Safe Gambling Reforms and Revamps Advisory Council<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis means that several hundred tips may be lost, but we have no exact numbers.
